LILU festival and walk
Saturday, January 24th, 2026 @ 13:00
Let's meet at Luzern train station at 13:55, at the beginning of platform 3, Zurich
Anyone up for visiting Luzern and discovering its festival of lights?
Legend has it that Luzern was founded under the guidance of an angel, who pointed a ray of light over the chosen spot. And so the settlers built a town there. These days, the angels may be elsewhere in the skies, but a light festival is taking place in Luzern.
While waiting to find out what the weather will be like, rough plan is to spend a Saturday afternoon in the picturesque Swiss city and combine a scenic walk across the Bireggwald forest with a stroll across the "Lilu" light festival.
Hike takes around 2 hours and is well described at https://www.luzern.com/en/tour/bireggwald-oberrueti-luzern
Recommended train:
From Zürich:
Zurich: 13:10, Luzern: 13:51
From Basel:
Basel: 12:16, Luzern: 13:30
